So there are three different good looking blends for straight cliffs on the front face, and the sides are, sadly, not yet perfect. As always, there is more in the map than shown in the screenshot, so look at the map! I may mess and update this in the future more stuff, who knows!

Anyways, here is the map file: http://www.mediafire.com/?2r45ktjmkdn

Feel free to modify the stuff and make cooler things then post em up here.

Generally, I don't like dirt->water blends; they always seem to look too copy'n'pasted, and most of the look the same. However, I do like the one on the left... I like the fact that it's not only symmetrical, but blends in with the isometric terrain as well. The little dirt cliffs jutting out look good too (on the one on the left).

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
